Neuralink is amazing technology and watching videos of participants who have completely different abilities and freedom with Neuralink implants is mind blowing. It’s sad that many want to dismiss these amazing achievements just because it’s an Elon Musk founded company. At some point you simply have to acknowledge his success (and his team’s), and hope they get further with all of this.

For those interested in their clinical trials:

For someone with a supreme lack of judgement he sure does own a lot of billion dollar companies. I strive to have the same lack of judgement that he has.

I hope not, I'd rather have fewer narcissistic sociopaths in the world. He only cares about himself and what people think of him. Nothing he does is to benefit other people. He's not Iron Man, he's Lex Luthor.

I guess people have always idolized the creeps of the world, though.

> Nothing he does is to benefit other people

The only way Elon makes money is through people voluntarily giving it to him in exchange for what he creates.

That, and billions of government contracts and subsidies.

The government contracts were simply being paid for a service, like you paying a taxi for a ride. Not a gift in any way, shape, or form.

The subsidies were EV subsidies, which were available for all electric cars.
